Cross Hayes, Malmesbury

This exemplary Georgian townhouse commands a prime position in the very heart of the town of Malmesbury overlooking the former market square with a whole host of amenities available on the doorstep. Grade II listed and dating back to the 18th Century, the property showcases magnificent original features throughout, coupled with a clever mix of contemporary upgrades. A particularly impressive feature is the 18th Century staircase which ascends the entire three-storeys of accommodation which extends in all to around 4,500 sq.ft. plus and impressive cellar and private off-street parking for up to 3 cars within a large garage to the rear.

The ground floor includes two front reception rooms whilst the principal accommodation is arranged at the rear where there is an exceptional, spacious and light sitting room with vaulted ceiling, a snug and a large kitchen/breakfast room which are all linked via a glazed atrium. All four reception rooms boast fireplaces. The kitchen has been thoughtfully designed with a range of units configured incorporating the original inglenook, all finished with Caesarstone worktops. There is a downstairs WC and utility room completing the ground floor.  Across the first and second floors, there are five good-sized bedrooms, two bathrooms, a separate WC and an en-suite bathroom to the principal bedroom suite. The extensive cellar provides invaluable storage and is evidence of the property’s intriguing brewery history. The large garage, accessed off Silver Street, has an internal access up to the garden and rear of the property.

The sizable gardens lie to the south, divided into two walled gardens. The main area adjoins the rear atrium and living room patio doors with a flagstone sun terrace leading to a lawn framed by vibrant borders. A ‘secret garden’ is hidden at the far end behind a wall which is laid mostly to gravel and surrounded by fruit trees.
